Re: Ascent of Sap

As far as I can understand it there is a pressure difference in the tube. Energy flows from a position of high potential to a lower one. Pressure is the same way. The sap is forced up the tube because the pressure is greater at the base.

In mathematics, you don't understand things. You just get used to them.If it ain't broke, fix it until it is.No great discovery was ever made without a bold guess.

May I ask you a personal question?

'And fun? If maths is fun, then getting a tooth extraction is fun. A viral infection is fun. Rabies shots are fun.''God exists because Mathematics is consistent, and the devil exists because we cannot prove it'I'm not crazy, my mother had me tested.
